Any Tips for Selling Fresh Potato Chips?

I have a customer that would like to sell fresh Idaho® potato chips in their deli departments. They are struggling with this project and wondering if you had any insight on how they should be preparing them?

Homemade-style chips are certainly a growing trend; popular in deli’s, as bar food, appetizers, or as a side dish. Since in-house prepared chips are customizable, the potential for charging a premium (and building the bottom line) is attractive. However, it is labor-intensive and requires measured steps to provide a quality end-product. Here’s a post on the subject from our website. It branches into some recipes too, which may be of help.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
